Hello, I'm new here! Just posted in the introductions thread.
Is there anyone in the UK that either sells pre modded Famicoms or will add the AV mod to order? Will I just have to sit tight and wait for something to pop up on ebay?
I realise I could go for the grey AV model, but I prefer the original white/red style.
Is the mod easy to get wrong? I have some experience with a soldering iron but I managed to fry the last thing I attempted modifying (a C64).
Sorry if this question has already been answered a thousand times!
I'm based in the UK and can carry out the mod for you if you supply a Famicom.
I've done various projects in the past which you can view on my YouTube account here (https://www.youtube.com/user/2010clarky)
PM me if your interested and we can discuss details.
I sell AV modded Famicoms and am willing to ship to Europe for $40 :) Check my thread if you are interested!
Thanks for the replies guys. Weighing up my options currently but when I've figured it out I'll be in touch ;D
Unless you can find a mod that performs at the same quality - I would definitely recommend the AV Famicom (grey model), the picture quality is amazing and having owned both I will always go for it.
When I really think about it the AV famicom makes a lot more sense; no modding required, controller ports etc. Especially as the video quality is that much better like you say. But the original red and white version just looks so much cooler!
I guess there is nothing stopping me getting both, I just like the idea of having an original set up with my TV ready to go.
First world problems!
I have an AV Famicom being shipped to my house now and I have a feeling that I'm going to miss the eject button from the original.
i would offer to sell u one but im thinking aus -> UK is expensive
I dont think the quality of image is all that much different in a well modded famicom to the av variant the thing i like is the ability to use a nes control or a dogbone.
My favorite i own is the twin i dont know why but i just loved the video output it has controller isnt the best but still they clean up a treat.
